Learning From EA's Annual Report

Posted by Soulskill on from the fun-on-all-fronts dept.

eldavojohn writes "GamePolitics rounded up some 'fun facts' from EA's annual report (PDF) and found among them: 'EA's failed bid to gobble up Take-Two cost the company $21 million,' while 'GameStop and Wal-Mart are EA's biggest customers; each accounts for 14% of EA sales.' It also shows that 'game content legislation and its potential effect on sales' concerns EA, as does the potential for a 'Hot Coffee incident.' More evidence that while it's good to be the big dog, it comes with a lot of responsibility and worrying."

    GamePolitics links the correct report at their article; Slashdot's summary links the 2008 report in "annual report" instead. (EA only has reports to 2008 at the "annual report" link in the Firehose version.)
